Google Play Music

Ok so I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue as me. I prefer to use Google Play Music as my default music player but for some strange reason it does not automatically change to the next song when one is finished. Instead it just keeps counting up past the actual length of the song. I am running the latest rom from Hal9k and have tried wiping and reinstalling with no luck. It didnt used to do this and I cant think of anything I did that would cause this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you tried other players with the same batch of music?

Have you tried music from other sources (ie created in different programs)?

On the topic of alternative player apps, and in reply to my own question some time ago, "Music Folder Player" works quite well on these units. It remembers the last position in the music (give or take) and does random playback across subfolders (so I can get a mix of artists/albums without creating playlists). I start it up with Llama, but any startup tool app with an option to delay start should work (delay is required to let the SD card finish checking).
[Android Head-Units] monk2413:
Well the problem is I stream all my music. I have google All Access so I have no music stored on the device. I have tried to save some of my google music playlists to the device and see if that would change anything... But no luck. I may have to just suck it up and store some music on my SD card and use a different player. Just makes no sense that a wipe wouldn't fix this.

Help no sound

Hi,

After rooting my android unit everything works except the speakers. I have no radio sound, pandora sound, cd sound or Ipod sound. I know the speakers still work as I can hear them pop when the unit starts and shuts down. Can anyone help me with this, did I use the wrong MCU update?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Jake Bullit:
Have you downloaded a non native music player app?

There could be a conflict.

If you did, delete it and reset using the small hole on the top right.
[Android Head-Units] mrcatt45:
Hi, I did not download any apps after the root. I did try the hard reset and I still get the same problem. Tried turning the volume up all the way and mute / unmute but I still get nothing.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
The most recent rooted software should not include any MCU update, if you used an older version it includes an MCU update that isn't compatible with new versions and causes loss of audio.
[Android Head-Units] mrcatt45:
Any way to undo the MCU update?
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Here is the newer MCU, you can just flash it and it will overwrite the old one.

Has anyone gotten a TH8681GA model? The one in the wiki is 8581 and I just got mine it's a 8681.
[Android Head-Units] Kidmet:
Reading the Russian site (as well as I could), it states this could be an android 4.1 model? Anyone else here have one?

Waiting on my wiring harness (today hopefully) so I can install and fire it up to get more specs for sure.

Ouku double din Help with model change problem

Hi all, i recently bought my android car stereo ( can't post link as i am new user )off ebay and i got it installed and it worked fine. I was trying to play some music using jet audio player plus. I did not check the trouble shoot list which states that the sdcard function is not hot swappable, so the 3rd party player was not recognizing the music on my card.... and i started to fiddle with settings. Long story short i got into the 'model change' setting and changed the model. ( i did this more than once ) Now i can't hear anything on the radio,it doesn't scan, like it was doing before, and i only get muffled, distorted audio on the native music player. There is a constant "ticking" noise coming through the left front speaker only (it seems). Also the eject button does nothing now, and the long press on vol- and vol+ which lowers and raises the screen do not function either. I have been reading on the forum and I have learned that the "change model' setting actually changes a whole bunch of stuff. so can anyone help me fix my mess, is there a way to restore the unit to the original 'model setting. I only had it installed like for a couple hours before this colossal "mash-up", so please help. and thank you in advance.

giving up on the android head unit dream, selling my ouku 6.2" unit; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171424569643 :(
[Android Head-Units] crxforya:
Hello everyone,

I've been a long time follower of this thread but have never need to post anything that someone smarter than me had already said. To get to the point I have an Model TH8581GA and mine works fine for the most part. I have the latest software for my device, I have sound, I have my ob2 running torque pro on BT. My question is about the WiFi adapter. I can connect to my home network, and sometimes my cell, but the connection quits after about 2 minutes no matter what the signal. The unit came with the WiFi adapter and I have purchased the panda pau05 but that does not seem to work. I would like to use my hot spot to maintain internet signal to the unit. Is anyone using a different unit for WiFi adapter, or are having the same problem with the adapter that came with the device?? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Crxforya

im also new. hope im in the right area. ive got the above unit. the external sd card has stopped working. im thinking its a "permission" problem? maybe its harware gone bad? should there be separate permissions for read and write? ive looked under the "platform" file and dont see any "read" permission for the external card. there is a write permission.the same under media permissions. i cant edit this because its not rooted. ive downloaded the mcu/system update and the root capacitive/resistive files. only the mcu would update because it cant find the external sd card reader for the system files. i used the usb on the front with a flash drive to get the mcu to update. any help would be gr8!! thx

Hello all! Long time looker, first time poster. I have an Ouku head unit. I am unsure of the model number (it doesn't say it anywhere on the unit itself and I bought it used.) I know that it has win ce 6.0, the slot for the navigation files is non-existent (just a piece of rubber or something where the card would go.) It does have TV, radio, BT, etc. I'm interested in putting android on here. Any way to determine which file I need to download to root it if I don't know the exact model?

The bootloader (or its equivalent) is not part of the Android OS so any permission problems would not effect it. Sounds like you have a hardware problem either with the card or card reader.

Thank you, at the end this factory reset password (7890) is ok for me !!!

Now the problem is that it takes 30 minutes restoring.

Is it normal?

Thank you.

On the other hand, I have another device like this that has fallen into a bootloop.

No update files accepted. I put the 4 files in the SD slot (it has only one, the other is dummy) and also have tried the usb on the front and rear.

Appears "update start" and followed "update end" on the screen and follow the bootloop.

Any ideas?

Thank you

hello , i have this exact unit that I rooted, I just came around installing the back up cam, I wired it to my back up lights wiring and I connected it to camera in

when I put it in reverse nothing happens

If I plug it in to AUX in I can go and manually select the cam once the headunit has finished booting, which is not very convenient because 1) i have to choose it 2)by the time it has finished booting I have alread backed out....

Isn't there supposed to be an integrated app that takes care of this by itself even during boot process?!

Setting tilt and changing hardware keys

Hi folks, I do have the exact same unit than ROLOWE on page 266 (6.9", A9 dual core, Android 4.1) which works very well up up to now. When pushing the eject button the screen moves down for accessing the dvd and sd card bay. On the product photos [uhh - as a newbie I cant insert URL :/] the screen is adjustet a few degrees, which would fit perfectly in my car, but I did not found any hint in the manual to set the screen tilt parameter - any ideas? -> UPDATE: while searching for a way to change the panel keys I constantly pressed Volume down key - and the screen moves down until I release the button - hehe, perfect :)

Unfortunately I did not find any brand info on this unit, so I don't know where to get the newest drivers - in the manual the file "318a2e70-44bf-11e1-b1cf-000c29ba27c0" is mentioned, so this could be an ouku device?!

And the last question: is it possible to redirect the hardware key functions? I would prefer to select next/prev played song instead of volume control-> UPDATE: found "Extra settings" / "Panel keys" - on the screen I see a grid of key functions, some of them grey. But I don't know how to change them? (f.e. want to redirect "Volume +" to "Next") Any ideas how to change them?

Hope someone can help me on this - after all this device seems to work very well; fast startup and response and everything seems to work right now :)

Panel key setting problem (long press function)

I found this menu and tried to redirect the [Volume -] to the [Prev] function - but now I can not alter the screen tilt by pressing the [Volume -] key more than 1 second?! In my setup the [Volume +] shows like this [Vol+/Panel up(L)]. This seems to indicate the double function (Panel up) but there is no "Panel" Button on the screen?! Even a factory reset didn't work! PLEASE HELP!
[Android Head-Units] Deffe1:
OK, at least I got it: After pressing [START] press the desired screen key option (here [Vol-]) and hold it down (long press) - after some seconds a submenu will pop up with options "Long" - "Extra long" - "Double press". Here I tapped on "Long" and in a new popup menu I could select "Panel up" :)

So I could redirect the volumen keys to change the title in media player and the long press function "Panel up/down" works fine :)

Greetings

[Android Head-Units] leodelarosa:
same problem

ROLOWE,

i have the same problem and the same unit that you have. when you find a solution, please share it with me.
[Android Head-Units] Deffe1:
Hi ROLOWE! I don't have any sound problems (and did not change the model) so I can not help you here :/

The panel keys can be re-directed: start "Settings", then goto "General" > "Extra Settings" > Enter code "123456" or "7890" > "Panel" keys

Now for every panel key to redirect / repair press [START] on screen, then the desired function (f.e. [VOLUME UP]), then the panel key you wish to redirect, then [END]. To get the "special" function like display tilt after pressing f.e. [VOLUME UP] on screen hold it down until a popup appears with the special actions "LONG", "EXTRA LONG", "DOUBLE PRESS". Select "LONG" and press ENTER. Now a new popup appears where you can select the desired function, f.e. SCREEN UP

What model did you select in the model change menu? Perhaps another model should "repair" it?

Do you also have an app called "Bootanimation" where you can select 3 different boot animations? I am looking for a way to add another boot animation to it, but no one seems to know this application...

Greetings Deffe
[Android Head-Units] leodelarosa:
Deffe,

Thanks for the reply. But my issue is that i can not reprogram the panel keys anymore, i tried it so many times. i believe that when i changed the car model, it took away all of the programming, im assuming its the MCU firmware that got messed up. i tried selecting dirrent car models (i have 4 selections) bu to no avail, i can not reprogram the panel keys to eject/open the lcd display, no sound from any source. i tried to get refund from vendor "lightinthebox.com" but got only offerred $75 (from purchase of $208, 1 day after install) and they tell me to keep the unit because returning plus shipping will be a loss for both of us. the vendor suggested reset from panel using code 3333 which i have not tried yet till i get my car from shop (timing belt change).

i have the app call bootanimation, what does it do?

Have you tried to re-install the mcu and/or system firmware? Seems that this is the only way to get your unit working again if no hardware is damaged ...
[Android Head-Units] leodelarosa:
Im certain that no hardware in damaged (1 day use?). I would like to re-install but i with 2 issues, 1 i dont have the mcu and system firmware and 2 i can not get the motorized display panel to open up for me to insert the sd card or cd/dvd. however the usb is available. I tried selecting the factory reset in the general setup menu and also tried hardware reset (poking thru the hole) and none worked. Do you know where i can download the mcu and system firmware? The vendor is not really a great help, they just want to give me the partial refund ($75) and be done with it. I like all these capability in the unit and im not giving up yet.
[Android Head-Units] Deffe1:
Uhh - if the "Back/Eject" Key does not work than you realy have a problem - is an SD card in the slot yet? If so, you could copy the mcu files from USB to sdcard and try to update the mcu. I have searched my device for the mcu files, but only found older ones, not the actual installed file (MCU version 4.3.1-1-10-0901). If someone here does know, what files are needed for you and where to find them I will copy them from my device and give then to you!

Good luck!

Buttons won't Light / ASWC / Reverse Cam - 3 Questions

OK, I've got this thing about half installed, but I have questions, and after searching the thread for hours I'm just not finding what I need. I have a 2007 Volvo S60 in case anyone has specific advice but these are more general questions.

1) The side buttons on the unit don't light up. There's a cable on the harness, brown I think, that's labelled "ILLUMI" - should I hook that into the the B+/switched/yellow power cable? Or somewhere else?

Resolved - Went into "Hidden" settings menu and made changes, very unintuitive menu, though.

2) Steering wheel controls - I have an ASWC unit but I guess it's hooked up wrong. I found these directions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51663064&highlight=volvo#post51663064

But I'm not entirely sure what wire "key 1" refers to. Those are also different directions than the manufacturer recommends, FWIW but those aren't working either. Manufacturer calls for hooking Pink wire into CAN-Hi and Blue/Pink wire into CAN-Lo, plus power an ground, and that's all.

3) Any confirmation on how the reverse camera input switching works? I'm assuming I just tap the wire marked "REVERSE" into a wire that's only hot when the car is in reverse and the screen input changes automatically? Can anyone confirm this? I can either find a wire in the dash to do this or just run one to the back along with the cam cable if need be and hook it to the reverse indicator light wire, I assume? Does anyone happen to have a good link to mid 2000s Volvo wiring for this?

Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Deffe1:
You can find mcu files here in the forum (found a thread with mcu version 4.3.1 which is installed in my unit), but I don't know wether there are differrences in mcu files for each model - perhaps you should open a new thread to get more attention.

[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
2. You plug the pigtail into the the 3.5mm (or 2.5mm) jack and then use one of the wires from the pigtail to Key 1 wire, not sure which one but there are only 3 so just try each, that's on the radio side for the output, the ASWC website should have all the detailed instructions for your specific car on the input side.

3. You are correct in your assumption, a lot of camera's actually come with a video cable that has an additional wire integrated so you can just tap into the reverse light signal right at the bulb holder (near where you'd mount the camera), but you can tap in anywhere you'd like. Also I'd suggest wiring the +ve power feed for the camera also to the reverse light circuit, that way the camera is only on when in reverse, running these little cameras constantly with a constant +ve feed can cause them to overheat.
